Welcome to Year 5 

2024/25

Year 5 Team:

Class Teacher - Mrs Bryant (Monday - Wednesday) Mrs Linham (Thursday-Friday)

Support Staff: Mrs Campbell, Mrs Gould-Coates, Mrs Baird

It has been an absolute pleasure welcoming you all back after the holidays. It has already been an action-packed start as we have started our new units (you can see our Curriculum Webs and Knowledge Organisers in the tabs to the side) and are starting to get our class routines in place. We have spent sometime thinking about what makes us successful learners and how we can support each other to be the best that we can be and have created our own 'class charter' establishing how we are going to do this

.Our Class Charter

In Year 5, we will have PE twice a week (Monday and Friday). Please ensure that your child has a full PE kit in school everyday. Swimming this term will be on a Friday afternoon starting on Friday 13th September.

 

Homework will be set on a Friday and due in the following Friday. 

* Maths - Please make sure that you are using TTRockStars each week. In Year 5, a solid understanding of these facts will really help you to be able to be successful with the Y5 maths curriculum.

* Spellings - Please complete the Look/Cover/Write/Check sheet and learn your spellings by using EdShed. Please return the sheet every Friday before the spelling test takes place that morning.

* Reading - We do expect the children to read at home at least 5 times a week. Reading books can be changed daily, but please ensure an adult from home has commented and signed the yellow reading record book. Inside are some question prompts that you may wish to use to check your child's understanding of what they have read. At the back of the yellow books, are the login details for TTRS and EdShed.

Please see the attached welcome PowerPoint for any additional information about Year 5.

We look forward to an amazing year ahead working with you and your children.
